10 Gross Ingredients You Didn’t Know You Were Eating… You NEED TO SEE THIS

6. Carmine

Also known as cochineal extract and E120, the pigment carmine is used to dye food. Carmine is made from bugs…lots of bugs. Cochineal bugs to be exact, which, when dried in the sun and ground up, make an excellent addition to your pill coatings.

7. Rennet

Rennet is an enzyme used in cheese production for separating milk into curds and whey. The reason rennet is so good at manipulating milk is because that's what it was made to do…only it was meant to do it inside a calf's stomach.

8. L-cysteine

L-cysteine is an amino acid that is commonly used as a meaty flavor enhancer. Unfortunately for the squeamish, the most common source of L-cysteine is poultry feathers.

9. Propylene Glycol

Propylene glycol is a common ingredient in anti-freeze bottles. It's the much-less dangerous cousin to ethylene glycol, and because of that distinction, you can find it in soda, alcohol, and baked goods, where it's used to add flavor.

10. Castoreum

Historically found in vanilla and raspberry flavored foods, castoreum is the liquid produced in a beaver's anal scent glands. These days it is more commonly used in perfume.
